J. Herr (20th Century) was an artist, likely from the large Jewish community in Flushing, Queens, New York, who worked in the 20th Century post-World War II. Their many works share a similar humorous take on American Jewish life, usually portraying Hasidic Jews looking at nude figures or confronted with modern quirks at odds with their apparel and lifestyle. The figures are drawn, usually in black and white, in a style similar to Felix Fabian, Leonard Baskin, or Albert Hirschfield, but occasionally were colored in or highlighted with specific spots of color for emphasis. Although nearly nothing is known about their life, their pieces, sometimes accompanied by witty titles or written dialogue to augment the images, have sold many times at auctions and are considered important works of mid-Century American Judaica.
